would be useful if running a turbo/boosted engine - but maybe not for NA? depends what/how you're running the engine
for turbo, it helps by:
-reducing heat transfer to head & piston so oil/cooling system is under less stress
-reduces residual heatin combustion chamber
-increases gas pressure/temp following combustion - which improves performance/output of the turbo (hotter/faster gas reaching the turbine)
one downside is higher temps at the exhaust turbine which could be point of failure for turbine wheels that easily fail at higher-than-normal tempretures.
plus you should also consider coating of interior of exhaust manifold and probably interior of exhaust turbine housing. Otherwise, you may create more unwelcome hot spots...
